Cherry Garden

Table reservation

Highlights:

Dim Sum Brunch (from $88) enriched by unparalleled signature creations: Applauded as one of the Lion City’s best dim sum brunches, Cherry Garden boasts familiar dim sum staples such as siu mai and xiao long bao and signature dim sum that are almost impossible to find elsewhere such as deep-fried escargot dumplings and crystal dumpling with fresh mushrooms and black truffle.
Food and Wine Pairings: Celebrations are made extra special with Cherry Garden’s selection of classic and modern wines that wonderfully complement their festive Cantonese dishes.
Divine Desserts: It’s almost a crime not to punctuate a Chinese meal with a dessert. In stark contrast with their long list of appetizers, dim sum, and specialties, Cherry Garden’s arsenal of desserts may seem short-stacked but with such perfectly executed desserts, five is just the right number. The osmanthus jelly with wolfberry is a delight both to the eyes and the palate.

Believed by the Chinese to possess medicinal and wellness properties, shark fin is presented in more creative ways than simply soup such as sautéed shark fin with scrambled egg and olive oil.

Imperial Treasure

Highlights:

Unbeatable Peking duck: Peking duck is more than just a dish, it is a gastronomic experience that starts from the roasting of a whole duck to crisp, fatty perfection until it is served and sliced right at the patron’s table.
Special set menu for large groups: A Chinese restaurant is an easy choice for celebrations because a set menu is almost always offered. Imperial Treasure has an assortment of set menus that celebrate its bestsellers: Yang Chow Four Treasures, Peking Duck, and homemade pastries.
Vegetarian set menu: A vegetarian set menu that does not revolve around tofu is great news to the health-conscious. Imperial Treasure’s vegetarian set menu showcases cleverly crafted veggie-centric dishes such as stewed vermicelli with shredded carrot and stewed beancurd skin with mushroom.
